This one is to fill out @Chris Cudmore's remaining clue:
- Sea navigation's start in Laos retreat is dependent on time of year (8)
SEA + navigation's start (N) in Laos retreat (SO_AL) = dependent on time of year SEASONAL.
Found by @Hexomino: the two word answer could be
NATIONAL SECURITY, found by taking the diagonals of the grid.

@Chris: please feel free to use the final answer and crossword in your solution -- you deserve the checkmark here.
